The MX6 alpha 2 test has been successfully completed. Some users have experienced this new browser. As you can see, the default color of MX6 is "Classic Blue". Classic blue is the color of the starry sky. It is peaceful and mysterious. Why does MX6 choose this color? On one hand, it hopes to bring everyone calm and be able to focus in the era of information explosion; on the other hand, it also expresses Maxthon team's exploration and yearning for the mysterious future. In MX6's default skin, we also provide "Classic Light Blue". If you prefer light colors, please go to "Settings" and switch in the "Appearance" page. In the future, we will also provide more skin options and the customizations. As a new product with the Chromium open-source kernel, MX6 integrates many new features in product design. We will introduce these new features in a series of articles. Today, let's take a look at the design of user accounts on local computer and Maxthon accounts on the cloud. Unlike MX5, which is designed to be a cloud browser, MX6 is more about client software and focuses on the design of users and data. You can create multiple users locally, each with its own data. Click the user avatar on the address bar, and then you can switch to another user or add a new user through [Manage People]. This setting can be more flexible to meet users' complex needs. For example, you can build a user for work and a user for life, and then manage the data separately. If a couple share a computer at home, it can be the same..... If you create a user locally, you do not need to sign in to the Maxthon account. If you need to use data from multiple terminals, or need to backup data, please sign in to the Maxthon account. Different users can sync data to different Maxthon accounts, so that even if a couple share a computer at home, they can also protect their data and avoid data confusion. In addition, MX6 supports [Incognito Window]. When the browser used in this way, the browsing data will not be saved. Although affected by the pandemic, MX6 team works from home in different places in the world, we will still improve every detail and promise to provide you with the best product experience.

Maxthon 6 chooses Chromium as the kernel, and its basic functions have been developed. Last week, the MX6 alpha 2 test was successfully completed. A total of close to 350 people joined the test. They were recruited from user groups and communities worldwide. Most of them are old users who have always used Maxthon, and nearly 95% have experienced the Chrome browser. The majority of test users are men between the ages of 25-45. We have received 189 user feedback through the questionnaire and email. Thank you for your active participation. High user expectation Regarding the user expectation for MX6, 76.82% of users rate the expectation with more than 4 stars, and even 47.83% of users rate 5 stars. Many users said that MX6 responses faster, the webpage opens smoothly and the interface is simple. Meanwhile, they are looking forward to blockchain apps in MX6. Focus on the stability of system and data sync When testing the sync function this time, only 40% of users had a smooth experience, while other users encountered some data error, such as Maxnote data syncing error, Passkeeper data syncing error, New Tab data syncing error and so on. Apart from network and personal factors, the stability of data syncing is far below expected standard. MX6 needs to be compatible with users historical data for more than 10 years in the new system with the Chromium kernel. The integration of data and system is the biggest challenge for MX6, but we are confident to overcome the difficulty and provide you with a more stable and safe browser. The MX6 development team decided to set up a dedicated team to solve this problem and promise to improve the stability when the Beta version is released. Looking forward to Chrome addons optimization From user feedback, we can see most users are accustomed to the MX5 original functions, such as New Tab, Passkeeper, Maxnote, etc. While for the interactive functions with Chrome, users want to optimize them, especially Chrome addons. We will focus on optimizing these functions in the Beta version. In addition, we will establish a common Chrome addons library, so people could download addons easily. Looking forward to more classic functions of MX5 Most users hope that MX6 can inherit classic functions of MX5, especially resource sniffer, snap and status bar. We will do the code refactoring for each feature in the new framework, and we will continue to update these features in the Beta version and subsequent versions. Under the situation of global epidemic, MX6 team works at home in different places in the world. MX6 will be improved according to the following priorities. First, improve the stability of the new system and data sync; Second, improve the basic browser function; Third, optimize functions and increase satisfaction; MX6 next stage plan MX6 team will focus on bug fixes for the Alpha 2 version and the development of the Beta version. Optimize system stability and reduce page frozen and system crashes; Optimize data syncing; Optimize the interactive experience of settings, bookmarks, history, download, addons, etc. and provide more convenient operations; Inherit classic functions of MX5; Setup a common Chrome addons library; Increase compatibility of ad-blocking functions and addons; Add the first-generation blockchain functional module； Please continue to follow Maxthon Browser. We will continue to introduce the new features of MX6, and we will share our plans and ideas of MX6. Thanks again for your subscription and test, we will work hard to provide you a better MX6.

After nearly a week, the MX6 alpha 2 test was successfully completed. We have received many praises and constructive suggestions for browser performance and basic functions from hundreds of Maxthon supporters worldwide. On behalf of Maxthon USA Inc., we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your active participation and enthusiastic feedback. Through user discussions in the test group, we can see that many users expressed their support and expectations for MX6 alpha 2. Better performance, faster response Compared with the MX5 browser, MX6 alpha 2 is much faster. Especially opening multiple tabs, its loading capacity and less RAM usage are more prominent. Let's look at feedback from test groups. MX6 is fast. A: "The speed of web page loading of MX6 is twice as fast as MX5." B: " More than twice" The website loading speed of MX6 is fast. Smooth data import, good browser inheritance MX6 is a different product line from MX5. The data of Maxthon 5 and Maxthon 6 cannot be synced, but MX6 can synchronize your data through the cloud. In MX6, you can synchronize your data from the local database to the cloud. If your Maxthon account has used and retained data in previous versions of Maxthon, these data will be automatically synced to your MX6 when syncing the data for the first time. After that, if you want to use both browsers, the data will not be synced but will be synchronized separately under their product lines. Of course, if you want to import MX5 data into MX6 in stages, you can also use the Import/Export user data function. MX6 team may provide a more convenient function to meet users' needs in different scenarios. Separate Bookmarks and Maxnote Maxnote in the MX5 browser has always been a controversial product. Some users think the Maxnote is easy to use; while some users who are used to the traditional favorites feel a bit uncomfortable. To balance the two kinds of user experience, MX6 coexists with Bookmarks and Maxnote. If you like Maxnote, please continue to enjoy it. If you like traditional favorites, please use the "Bookmark" function. When you use MX6 for the first time, it will automatically import the URLs marked as favorites in Maxnote into Bookmarks. User's affirmation and expectation for MX6 MX6 chooses the Chromium open-source kernel as the foundation. Chromium kernel is famous for a series of features such as security, fluency and stability. MX6 inherits these features and fully supports the Chrome addons library. Although MX6 Alpha 2 has some issues or some small bugs, it is still praised and expected by users. The new version is cool! I don’t want to use Edge and Chrome after using MX 6. I use the Maxthon browser from the MyIE2 version, I can't give up. I hope MX6 will be perfected as soon as possible, I am looking forward to it. Your support is our driving force. Thank you for your support and love. We will continue to work hard!
